ICO as a trend of 2018

According to MarketWatch research, 2018 turned out to be a record number of ICOs in the United States. A total of 287 companies were found, attracting investors in this way. Moreover, only those projects that fully comply with the requirements of the Securities Commission were taken into account.

To meet the requirements of US law, startups use the simplified form D. It greatly simplifies the registration procedure, but allows you to work exclusively with qualified investors. Earlier, SEC head Jay Clayton said that the Commission sees the ICO as a priority goal for the near future. Although he acknowledged that this form of fundraising carries an increased risk for investors.

South Korea announced tax holidays

The government of South Korea decided to exempt companies from the blockchain industry from taxes. This is done in order to spur the development of scientific and technical progress in the field of finance and information transfer. As a result of this decision, companies can save up to 40% of the budget, directing them to study promising sectors of the economy.

In total, 16 areas of business will fall under the law. These include robotics, ecology and other innovative areas of activity. The country's finance minister said that as of February 2019, these companies will be exempted from paying taxes.
